Phase switch when using two pick ups? Did it on an old Zenta I found in a skip. Really uber-bright tone!

Harmony & Chord Families are not difficult and once learnt will vastly improve your playing, theory and song writing providing endless hours of creative writing.
Lets look at Chord Families;
After this lesson you will know every Triad chord in every Major and Minor key enabling you to write your first song.
•Step 1: Choose the key you wish to find the triad chords for
•Ok I want to find the triad chords within the key of A Major
•Step 2: List the scale notes of the key you want to find
•OK I selected A so using what I was taught in Lesson 1 I can use my Chromatic Scale & Scale Tones to list the notes of the A Major Scale – A B C# D E F# G#
•Step 3: List your notes on a sheet of paper from the Root note to the Octave
•Ok, so that would be A B C# D E F# G# A
•Step 4: For each note within the Scale we apply the ‘Take One – Miss One‘ technique
•The ‘Take One – Miss One’ technique is really simple
•Each of the 8 notes within the scale (which you should have written on a sheet of paper) will be the Root note of each Triad Chord within that key.
•(.i.e. A will be the Root note for Chord 1 whilst E would be the Root note for Chord 5)
•OK, I select A to start on
•Lets apply the first section of the technique by applying the ‘Take One’ which basically means the note you are currently situated on will be selected.
•Ok, I have selected the A note
•Next apply the second part of the technique the ‘Miss One’ which basically means, miss out the next note and move to the one after
•Ok, so from A I should miss B and move to C#
•The C# would then become the 3rd of my Chord (refer to Lesson 1 for Chord constructions) place the C# under your A note
•Ok, I now have the A = root note
• C# = third
•Again we miss a note and take the next in the scale which would be E, place the E under the C# which becomes the chords 5th note
•Ok, so I am left with = A = root
• C# = third
• E = fifth

Modes are essential for soloing over more advanced chord progressions. Many guitarist shy away from learning modes as they judge them to be a struggle but the truth is the concept of modes is very simple.
For this exercise we will present the modes in the key of C Major it will make it easier to understand.
C Major Scale = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
In modal terminology, the major scale is known as Ionian – playing the C Major scale in the key of C Major would be the mode of C Ionian.
There is a modal terminology for each degree of the scale
•1st degree (C) = Ionian
•2nd degree (D) = Dorian
•3rd degree (E) = Phrygian
•4th degree (F) = Lydian
•5th degree (G) = Mixolydian
•6th degree (A) = Aeolian
•7th degree (B) = Locrian
A device for memorizing the order of the modes is:
